“Nathaniel is great with Cooper and Finnly. My dogs are well cared for. Nathaniel is a great at communicating in a very timely manner. Always courteous and respectful. We’re glad found him!”

Luna has been comfortable with Bryana during every drop in visit. Bryana gives Luna great care and attention. Thank you Bryana.”

About: Beyond just walking, I will engage with your pet through play and interaction, ensuring they have a safe, fun, and stimulating experience. I am willing to accommodate smaller indoor pets that need feeding or basic care. Just ask and we can discuss any special arrangements needed for your pets! Currently, I have a flexible schedule and am open to entertaining and taking care of your pets from the early morning until the late afternoon hours. With any pet, I will take every precaution to ensure their utmost safety and the safety of any other animals or people we encounter. For any home or yard entered, doors or gates must remain closed and locked and will be triple-checked each time. I will have basic questions about each pet that I may need to know or be aware of to ensure the best experience all around.

About: I have a genuine passion for pet care and proactively offer to walk my friends’ dogs and house sit for them because being around animals brings me so much joy. I am an attentive and reliable sitter who prioritizes safety and loves keeping owners updated with texts and photos. Whether it’s a long walk or an overnight stay, I am dedicated to maintaining your pet’s routine and ensuring they feel loved and secure. I am currently working full-time, so I would absolutely love to walk dogs in the evenings! My weekends are also open so I am happy to take care of them for longer on Saturday’s and Sunday’s. I have a fenced side yard at my house. I don’t have any pets at home since I recently moved back from college but I would like to get one eventually! Being with animals is my favorite thing to do and it brings me so much joy. When I house sit/walk dogs for my friends, I constantly give them updates on how their pets are doing and feed them as instructed, while also keeping their house clean.
“Marielle was super attentive and thorough with the care of our two cats! They are very social, so it was important to have someone to both feed them and give them some attention while we were away- and she did just that! Got updates and pictures the whole time of food and play times. We will definitely have Marielle care for Faith and Nathaniel again :) Thank you!!”

“Kimberly is fantastic! She was always on time to make sure my cat was fed and received his medication, while taking the time to show him some extra love. I’m so thankful for her help and care! Each update was detailed and included several photos of my kitty. Cannot recommend her enough!”

“Eylana is the best and always willing to accommodate for my senior dogs. I hesitate to let anyone know how good she really is because she might get too busy for us 😉 but I also want everyone to know she is a stellar pet sitter! Thank you always Lana!”


About: I've been around animals my entire life and grew up with dogs, cats and even fish! Over the years, I've lived with five dogs, two Golden Retrievers, a Labrador, a Husky and a Shiba Inu. I have hands on experience supporting three of them through their senior years, including mobility care, monitoring health changes and providing gentle and patient attention. Currently, I live with a Golden Retriever and a Shiba Inu and two rescue cats from a shelter. I understand the different personalities, energy levels and emotional needs of both dogs and cats. I have cared for my friends' beloved pets over the years and understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else's care. As a pet parent myself, I know how difficult it can be to find someone you truly feel comfortable with. That's why I treat every pet as f they were my own with love, patience and respect. I currently offer dog walking and drop-in visits between 09:00AM and 3:00PM on weekdays. Weekend, early morning, and evening visits may be available upon request, please feel free to message me to discuss availability. I carefully follow your dog's or cat's routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. Through messages and meet and greets, I take time to learn about your dog or cat's personality, needs, ad routine, while also respecting your preferences and are instructions as their owner. I provide photo updates after each visit and maintain clear communication so you always feel informed and at ease while you're away.
About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was 10 years old. I’ve had a total of 3 cats since growing up in Los Angeles. I’ve helped many of my friends with pet sitting their cats overnight in my home or at theirs. I had my first dog (160 pound St Bernard) about 2 years ago. I adopted him since he was 6 months old until he turned almost 2. Now I have a 5 month old German shepherd and no cats. I am currently working part time and am available during the week and weekend when I’m off. I’m also available early morning or late at night if needed. I have a small fenced yard with plenty of room to play. I have many dog toys but can use yours if you prefer. I make sure I keep dogs inside when it is raining or if it gets too hot. Especially avoiding any mosquito bites so please let me know if your dog is on a flea and tick prevention.
About: I am a very compassionate animal lover with experience caring for multiple breeds. I am incredibly reliable, trustworthy, active, amusing, and patient. My goal is to ensure your pet enjoys their staycation while receiving the best care and attention they deserve. Since I am home full time, I have a flexible schedule and can easily accommodate pet care needs whenever required, ensuring your pet receives the attention and care they deserve. I tailor my pet care services to meet the needs of each pet in my home. I create a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of space for exercise, play, and relaxation. Pets in my care receive companionship, attention, and a structured routine to keep them happy and secure. • Must be fully house-trained (including no excitement peeing)
About: Dogs have always been in my life ever since I was a little girl. I have years of experience of having my own pets and as well as taking care of my friends or family’s furry animals! I’ve walked, bathed, played and have taken care of their animals endless amount of times. I’m currently a full time student and a part time worker. Depending on the day my schedule may be a little complicated. Yet I do still have free moments throughout my days and nights! In a clients home it’s important for me to ensure both the client and their pet feel trust in letting me into their personal space. Understanding I am in someone else’s safe space, I’ll always obey by the rules that they have with in their house and respect them. For their furry animal it’s important for them to know I’m a friend that is wanting to play and treat them no different then how their owner would, with love.
“What can I say about Debora? She has been a blessing for my family and our pup Bailey. She has been helping us since he was a tiny pup to now which he is almost 1 year old and huge. She was always attentive, professional and showed so much love for him. We are sad to be moving out of the area. If we could we would have her help us forever. Debora became part of our family dynamic. Debora, thank you so much for everyone you’ve done! We will miss you and you kiddos! Keep having that awesome smile and attitude and love for our furry babies.”

“Aytanna went above and beyond during their visits with Theia. In addition to the duties we discussed during booking, Aytanna also swept up litter and cat hair, sanitized my water fountain, and was super communicative about when they were coming by. I would highly recommend Aytanna to anyone (especially those with sensitive/shy animals) and will definitely be using them in the future.”


“Mellania is great with my pups! I had her come out a few times now and I can tell she is very kind and gentle. I appreciate that she is very patient with my two shy dogs, which was my main concern. We will be using Mellania as our regular dog sitter. Thank you Mellania for being so kind to my two pups and patiently working with them to warm up to you. We appreciate you!”

“Tijera was great! She was communicative and I could tell based on her updates and pictures each day that she really loves animals. I felt so much better knowing that she was checking in on my little man and I will absolutely be booking her again in the future”

We were planning a much-needed family vacation, but had never left our cat in someone else's care before. Naturally, we were nervous—especially since our cat is a rescue with special needs. From the moment we reached out, Paulina was responsive and professional. She quickly put us at ease with her prompt communication and genuine interest in understanding our cat's unique personality and needs. Paulina turned out to be the perfect match. She earned our cat's trust—no small feat—and formed a real bond with him. Her regular updates through Rover cards, complete with detailed notes and photos, reassured us that he was in great hands. Paulina truly exceeded our expectations. Thanks to her, we were able to enjoy our vacation without worry, knowing our cat was happy and well cared for. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Paulina to our friends and family. She’s a wonderful sitter and we’re so grateful to have found her.

Jiselle stepped in for a few weeks while our regular walker was unavailable. She was accommodating to our schedule with Chico and was willing to be flexible with the timing of things due to the hot weather. Definitely going to consider her again for future needs! 😊 Thank you Jiselle!

I would highly recommend Salma to any pet parent. I felt very comfortable leaving my baby with her while I was away, you could really tell she was so loving and sweet and loved my little guy. I definitely plan on booking her for drop ins and when I go on vacation 🐾🩷

Ashlee is beyond amazing. She will give you massive ( in a great way) updates and will problem solve any issues with you. She’s compassionate, kind, and has a six sense with animals. She is great with both dogs and cats and I’m sure with any other animal she would come in contact with. I cannot say enough great things about her. Book with her and your animals with me safe and happy and you can actually enjoy your vacation knowing she will treat your furry loves like her own. Doesn’t get better than her!
